Three-year-old Josiah Toleafoa’s birthday celebration turned tragic as he was struck by a car at Play City, a family-friendly venue in San Diego. Witnesses described his mother’s anguish as paramedics tried to save him, but Josiah succumbed to his injuries at Rady Children’s Hospital.

“No time to see him do amazing things. I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD,” lamented his aunt, Tatiana Toleafoa, on a GoFundMe page. The family seeks support for funeral expenses, remembering Josiah as a joyful child.

Play City’s owner and landlord pledged financial aid, yet no arrests have been made as investigations continue. “What a tragic piece of news,” we extend our deepest condolences to Josiah’s family during this challenging time.
